Meetings and Other Things I Do With My Day That Don't Matter
So I'm in a meeting this afternoon, and I'm doodling as usual. I have this trick where I tune out just enough that I'm not bored, but that if somone asks me a question, I can answer. It's a knack I picked up in University. Lately, I've been toying with creating cartoons in my head and letting them just wander off on their own, much like dreams do.
This may sound alarmingly structured to many of you, but keep in mind that I got to A LOT of meetings. A lot.
So today, I'm doing that... and having a grand old time... when the weirdest thing happens. I ran through the entire 'Boy Trapped down the Well' episode from the Simpsons! Is my imagination so shot by television that the only thing I can daydream about is reruns of old TV shows? I literally ran through the whole episode.
So... should I give up TV, or just force myself to daydream more and get some more creative ideas in there?
NOTE: This little system of mental hygiene is where I first starrted fantasizing about having a rocket launcher on the highways... so it can be a productive process as well.
